Athens-Clarke leaf-and-limb pickups this week are scheduled in seven neighborhoods.

Pickup times are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

People may have one "load" per pickup, which constitutes 25 paper lawn refuse bags or one 3/4-ton pickup truck load of leaves and limbs, or a pile no larger than 6-by-6-by-4.5 feet. Grass, leaves, prunings, pine straw, limbs and small branches (no more than 4 inches thick and 6 feet long), and weeds, brush and twigs.
